We recently lost a Kubota dealer (1 of 2) down here in Aiken a couple of months ago. It was a smaller dealer. Did OK business, but not stellar. Unfortunately the dealer that should go out of business is still here. Worst run business I've ever seen. You have to beg them to get you a part, or show you a tractor you already want to buy. And everyone I talk to agrees it is a horrible dealership. They certainly missed out on my business, and my neighbor who had a Kubota, sold it and bought a Deere.
Based on some of the comments previously, it might be that Kubota is "re-organizing" their dealer base. When I was in corporate world, I saw it happen several times with different companies (just for the record, I didn't initiate it!) Sometimes its part of the cold hearted corporate mentality.
About a year ago, I lost my dealer. Right in the middle of ag country, (about 20 miles away) did good solid business. Company insisted he display an additional 20-25 tractors on his lot. He refused, they pulled the line. It happens.
